Abstract:
High-carbon resources have primarily been used as energy sources for over half a century. Although it has greatly promoted the prosperity and development of human society, it has also caused serious damage to the Earth's environment, especially the burning of high carbon resources that releases a large amount of greenhouse gases, posing a serious threat to sustainable human development. From the perspective of global development and utilization of high carbon resources, promoting low-carbon utilization of high carbon resources is an inevitable trend for future development and a necessary way to solve major environmental problems such as climate change and ecological damage. Therefore, systematically elaborates on the development process of high carbon resources and the problems they face, analyzes the necessity of achieving low-carbon utilization of high carbon resources, and explores specific ways of low-carbon utilization of high carbon resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The conclusion is that: In the short term, measures such as optimizing the energy structure, improving resource utilization efficiency, and promoting carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology can be taken to gradually reduce the carbon emission intensity of high carbon resources, achieving low-carbon, clean, and efficient utilization throughout the entire process from source to end. In the long run, fully utilizing the raw material properties of high carbon resources. By continuously optimizing and innovating the use of technology, promoting the refinement and high-value utilization of high carbon resources. Effectively reducing carbon emissions through the production of chemicals lays the foundation for achieving sustainable development and long-term carbon neutrality goals. Looking ahead to the future, with the rapid development of renewable resources. Further integrating high carbon resources with renewable resources will become an important path to address the challenges of global energy transition and carbon reduction.
